Disk Swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Newbie asking a odd question... Forwarned!

It seems like a hastle to deal with all the disk swap things... I have a 6 lug truck (1968 2wd).

I grew up with Toyota 4wd's. Toyota released the prerunner back in 1998. It runs the 4wd frame and knuckles with a simple cover plate over the axle holes.

This brings me to my question. What if you took a IFS 4wd truck spindles, brakes, Rotors, hubs, and bolted it onto the 1968 (old truck's) ball joints?

If the spindles need to be reamed for the new ball joints, you could do that?

On a similar note, could a Caprice spindle brake assembly be used?

I would prefer a Hub + Brake rotor, to a hub-less assembly. Seems like you could retrofit an OE 6 lug rotor easier..
